The Thornycroft 250 is a 4 cylinder, 4 stroke, vertical, inline 4.165L diesel engine, based on the Ford 2712 Dorset industrial engine. Popular with commercial and private operators, the Thornycroft 250 proved to be one of the best selling 4 cylinder power units available, offering good horsepower and excellent reliability. Both Heat Exchanger and Keel Cooled versions were produced. Thornycroft always used a separate manifold and heat exchanger on their engines. These can be replaced by the latest combined heat exchanger manifold unit. Eventually the 250 was replaced by the Thornycroft 251, an uprated and modified version of the same engine.
